Spring Hill Restaurant- Beecher's Bread Pudding

We spent last Saturday at the West Seattle Street Festival and stopped in at a few spots for snacks throughout the day. When we saw Beecher's Cheddar Bread Pudding on the brunch menu at Spring Hill Restaurant and immediately went in to try it. It was towards the end of Brunch hours so the restaurant was really quiet and we had a seat at the bar and chatted with the bartender about the restaurant and their menu. When we ordered the bread pudding she suggested getting a side of hollandaise to go with it as well as their hash browns.

The bread pudding was flaky on the outside and a savory moist cake on the inside. I sometimes wonder if you could add Beecher's cheese to anything... this recipe was such a brilliant creation on Spring Hill's part.

The Hash Browns were cooked to a golden crisp and so fresh. They were served with a house ketchup that had a slight flavor of Frank's Hot Sauce.

It was a quick stop but the food was wonderful and the service was fantastic. We checked out the dinner menu and didn't see many vegetarian/vegan options but I would definitely come back for another light brunch. I also saw some really interesting ice cream flavors on the dessert menu that I would love to try including Crackerjack, Salted Peanut, and Cinnamon Toast.
